Efiorts have been made to produce a container for distilled liquors which cannotbe tampered with, by providing a 7 metal closureor receptacle which encloses the glass'container, wherein the metalre'ceptacle is so constructed that when once ruptured in order to give access to the gIassbot'tIe-then it cannot be reclosed. Difiiculty has been experienced, however, in connection with the applicationloi a revenue stamp to such a package; Itmust be attached to the glass bottle and atthe same time it is essential that it shall be visible for inspec type'which is so constructed that the revenue stamp may be applied to the outer face of the bottle container within said metal'receptacle.
